Does My Pet Need a Wellness Exam?

Animals, like people, need medical checkups to monitor their overall well-being. That's why we offer wellness visits to pets of all ages and breeds. Our team carefully evaluates your pet's health to catch, diagnose, and treat health problems early so they don't progress into serious issues. Our family-owned and operated animal hospital consistently delivers compassionate care to create meaningful and long-lasting relationships with our patients and pet parents. Here are some of the health factors we'll address during your pet's wellness visit:

  • Nutrition
  • Parasites
  • Vaccinations
  • Spaying and neutering
  • Breed-specific health problems
  • Medical history
  • Medications
  • Blood pressure
  • Eye pressure
  • Heart health

Dog Vaccinations in Aiken

Our friendly team provides vaccines to protect your pet from various diseases and parasites. We understand that your time is valuable, and we can combine your pet's wellness exam with administering the shots your dog needs to maintain compliance with core vaccine requirements. You can also schedule an appointment to update your pet's vaccinations at our animal hospital.

You can trust that we'll only recommend the vaccines your dog needs based on their current health situation and environmental factors. Here are some benefits of maintaining your dog's shot regimen:

  • Interacting With Animals: When you take your pet to the groomer or the dog park, you never know if the other pets they're interacting with are current on their core vaccines. Other animals can easily transmit illnesses and parasites that compromise your dog's health, like kennel cough and rabies. Vaccinating your pet protects them from the diseases other animals carry.
  • Travel and Boarding: It's become common practice to take your pet with you on vacation, but that means providing proof that their core vaccines are current. Additionally, if you need to board your pet during a trip, boarding facilities require documentation regarding your pet's vaccinations.
  • Boost Overall Health: Maintaining your pet's core vaccines is essential to improving and protecting their overall health. By keeping your pet's vaccinations current, you can safeguard them from illnesses and diseases that severely compromise their well-being.

Our Process for Exams and Dog Shots

We believe your pet is unique and deserves individualized care. That's why we take the time to get to know you and your pet. We'll ask you questions about any concerns you may have or changes in their behavior or appetite. Our team performs a comprehensive nose-to-tail examination, with x-rays and blood work. We pay close attention to your pet's comfort level because we care about creating a safe environment to alleviate anxiety.

Additionally, we understand that your pet's health needs change with age. That's why we carefully tailor our services and treatments to help senior dogs enjoy a full and healthy life. Our veterinary team reviews the results of your pet's exam and which vaccines are needed to keep their vaccination record current.
